Once, every part of the coconut tree had multiple practical uses that supported daily life (upper panel). Today, many of the coconut tree’s uses have been replaced by other materials. For some, the role of the coconut tree has been reduced to merely decorative (lower panel - topiary pot), creating an atmosphere of paradise, and garnishing your slice of coconut cake. We can also view the role of the coconut tree as being repurposed. There is a new function to the coconut tree due to the time, space, and location to allow for the sense of usefulness.
